Where Do We Go Now? (Lebanon, 2011) ***

Where_do_we_go_nowWriter, director, actor Nadine Labaki takes a difficult challenge with Where Do We Go Now? a film that swings between comedy and tragedy on the backdrop of the Muslim-Christian conflict in Lebanon. There are quite a few good scenes but all in all, the plot doesn’t hold the weight of the topic at hand, and the switching between laughs to tears with an occasional musical beat are just awkward. Still, kudos for the attempt.
